Unveiled at the Royal Automobile Club, London, earlier this month, the VUHL 05 is the creation of brothers Guillermo and Iker Echeverria - the sons of Mexican racing driver Guillermo Echeverria senior.

The
six-speed supercar boasts 0-60 in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of
240kph and UK drivers are being taken now for delivery beginning in the
Spring of 2014.
